Title: Individual Fishing Quotas for
Pacific Halibut and Sablefish in the
Alaska Fisheries.
OMB Control Number: 0648–0272.
Form Number(s): NA.
Type of Request: Regular submission
(revision and extension of a current
information collection).
Number of Respondents: 1,686.
Average Hours per Response:
Application for a non-profit corporation
to be designated as a Community Quota
Entity (CQE), 200 hours; application for

individual fishing quota (QS/IFQ),
identification of shareholder interest,

Burden Hours: 9,946.
Needs and Uses: This request is for
revision and extension of a current
information collection.
The Pacific Halibut and Sablefish
Individual Fishing Quota (IFQ) Program
was developed to reduce fishing
capacity that had increased during years
of management as an open access
fishery, while maintaining the social
and economic character of the fixed gear
fishery that is relied on as a source of
revenue for coastal communities in
Alaska. The Halibut and Sablefish IFQ
Program provides economic stability for
the commercial hook-and-line fishery
while reducing many of the
conservation and management problems
commonly associated with open access.
The IFQ Program for sablefish and
Pacific halibut fixed gear provides each
fisherman a catch quota that can be used
any time during the open season.
Individual shares are intended to allow
fishermen to set their own pace and
adjust their fishing effort. The IFQ
Program is intended to reduce the
premium that was traditionally placed
on speed, allowing fishermen to pay
more attention to efficiency and product
quality. The IFQ Program consists of
three parts: IFQ halibut and sablefish,
Western Alaska Community
Development Quota (CDQ) halibut, and
Gulf of Alaska (GOA) IFQ community
quota share.
Program changes/revisions consist of
removal of duplicative forms/
information collections and changes to
notarization requirements (removing for
some information collections and
adding for one).
